Salisbury Steak (Ok now I'm VERY hungry)

Yes I know it's been a few days yet again since I updated. Life is just busy and I have a hard time getting on the computer when I do have the time...LOL! I should review my last entry so I know what recipes I said I was going to post! I do remember raving about the Salisbury Steak so I wanted to share it with you. I'm super hungry right now too so posting this recipes might just push me over the edge :)!!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did (well with exception of Wee-One...again the whole love/hate relationship with ground beef). I can't take credit for the picture...that was on the Taste of Home Website (www.tasteofhome.com).

SALISBURY STEAK:

• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pound ground beef

GRAVY:

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained

Directions:

• In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties; place in a shallow 2-qt. microwave-safe dish.
• Cover and microwave at 70% power for 5-6 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine flour and broth until smooth. Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, basil and mushrooms.
• Turn patties; drain. Pour gravy over patties. Cover and microwave** at 70% power for 5-6 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Gently stir gravy; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes. Yield: 4 servings.

**I DID NOT do mine in the MICROWAVE. I made mine in the oven. I cooked them at 350 for an hour (just because I had roasted potatoes going at the same time and had the oven on). So instead of cooking them for a few minutes like they do in the microwave before putting on the gravy, I just formed the patties, put in the pan, dumped all the gravy on them, covered them and popped them in the oven. I might have turned up the heat a bit too at the end (to 375) just to make sure they were cooked all the way through. **

Like I said above I made roasted potatoes with these patties because Hubs loves him some roasted potatoes. I thought either noodles or rice would go good with this dinner too. Not sure what kind of vegetable I made that night but you can darn well bet that I did serve one...ha!

Ok so that's it for now. I'll review my last post and post the other recipe(s) I talked about. Now go make yourself some Salisbury Steak (I promise you won't be disappointed). ENJOY!!!
